World Briefing | The Americas: Argentina: Power Shift In Senate

The opposition Justicialist party retained control of the Senate and replaced the ruling Alianza coalition as the leading political force in the lower house of Congress, according to vote tallies from elections on Sunday. President Fernando de la Rúa said he would listen to the voters and urged opposition governors, labor leaders and businessmen to join him in efforts to lift the country from its 40-month recession.
